#howling wind

The wind shakes my house.

A tired weight

presses down on my body.

Eyes heavy-

unable to close them.

Restless feet

fidget under my blanket.

The house creaks-

the wind roars.

I think about starting the car.

Moving is too hard.

I contemplate

what I should

make my body choose.

Still,

I face the wall.

Eyes open,

feet restless-

heart in a blender.

Surely if I get up

and go on with my day,

I will feel better.

Will I...

feel better?

I want to hold on

to these precious memories-

preserved like jelly.

The wind shakes my house.

All it needs is one good blow-

to knock it all down.

Will she take me?

The wind.

When I exit these walls,

will she be waiting

to swoop me away?

Will I welcome it

with open arms,

or do I stay?

The car is started.

The wind waits to guide me.

The sun and the moon

now reunited,

have to wait once more

for my embrace.

The Crossover Episode, Art Fight Attack @pink-pone

I had a ton of fun playing with the idea of your cast meeting my cast and I got through each character description to think of the best matches... Some of my guys would get along with so many of yours, not to mention I excluded the pirate crew for timeline reasons XD My guys would definetely enjoy some R&R in your world

Below the cut the descriptions from the original AF post and the lineart:

An offering to Meluzína — it’s been a bitter cold windy day

Description: a female flying spirit, whose precise outlines are practically unnoticeable due to its above-average fast movement.

Occurrence: practically throughout the Vysočina (highlands) a very abundant ghost.

Working hours: it works at any hour of the day or night and is most abundant in autumn and winter.

Characteristics: its movement creates air vortices, the result of which is a strong wind that takes people’s roofs off their heads, breaks branches from trees and scatters everything that a person has painstakingly put together. During its operation, it emits a shrill sound that penetrates chimneys into human dwellings. In winter, it often cooperates with its relative, the Blizzard.

According to Antonín Jungmann, it was enough to throw a handful of flour or salt out of the window so that she would not harm people but instead would cook porridge for her young sons.

Prompt: Howling Winds

One of the Brecilian Forest werewolves celebrates cooler weather with a howl - or maybe he’s challenging the wind itself. DA werewolves have a very distinctive head shape I don’t feel like I really captured here. Their noses are just plain odd and they have a very angular / toothy look that got lost trying to change the expression to a howl.

On the other hand, I’m really pleased with how my blending is coming along. I’m starting to learn more about alcohol markers. Done with a combination of Spectrum Noir, Ohuhu and Copic markers. Traditional.
